At your service! Trains to have hostesses now
Imagine having your meal on a comfortable couch with choicest music playing in the background and smart hostesses serving you.
Come September, and all this will be a reality in select trains, as part of the Indian Railways��� initiative to give train passengers a feel of air travel. The train hostesses will be smartly attired in blue trousers, white shirts, and blazers.
According to the plan, which has been given final shape by the Indian Railways, 2 AC coaches with additional services will be added to trains on certain routes. The services will be available in Kanchan Kanya Express and North Bengal Express from September 26, followed by a few other trains that include Delhi-Sealdah Samparkranti and Guwahati-Delhi Samparkranti .
First of its kind in the Indian Railways , the arrangement comes as a result of public private partnership. ������ It is a pilot project. If successful, we hope to extend this facility to other trains on other routes as well. It will be an added incentive for the modern-day travellers,������ said a railway official.
